Admirable personally, as a life story.
But yeah, I recall reading she was a complete fruitcake when it came to governance.
Yeah, she was a true believer in the Communist ideal, even helped to found the ACLU. Despite this, she was supposedly a Christian - although in the early part of the 20th century, there was a curious attempt to marry social justice leftism of the economic sort with Christianity, championed by William Jennings Bryan. Of course, you see little of that today, except the pseudo-Christian phoniness pushed by some Black churches (”Social Justice” being just thinly-veiled Marxism).
The stories about her tended to focus on her early life triumph while ignoring the later, more politically repugnant side that would tend to turn off a majority of folks (or at least used to).
